This next sentence that they say includes our focus for the lesson.
좋은 생각인 것 같아요.
First is '좋은' (joeun), which means 'good.' 좋은. 좋은.
Then is 생각 (saenggak), which means 'idea' or 'thought.' However, it is followed by 인 (in), which changes the pronunciation as both are said together. 생각인 (saenggagin). 생각인. 생각인.
인, combined with the following 것 같아요 (geot gatayo), expresses 'it seems' or 'I think it is.' 것 같아요. 것 같아요.
All together, it's 좋은 생각인 것 같아요. "I think it's a good idea." 좋은 생각인 것 같아요.
